VS 2010 Hiding Window Of External Process?
Jan 7, 2012
So i want to start an application with my vb.net app and it should start as a hidden process, meaning no window and nothing in the task bar, only in the task manager ofcourse.
This is what i do
Dim fov As New Process
If CheckBox2.Checked = True Then
RichTextBox1.Text = RichTextBox1.Text & vbCrLf & "* - Launching"
fov.StartInfo.FileName = ("test.exe")
[Code]...
This does not work.. I have also tried the "fov.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True" command which does not work either. I can live with a solution that would start the window minimized instead of totally hidden.

I have been working on a program to hide windows for an active process. I found some examples on the internet explaining how to do this. The problem, however, is that after I hide the windows I cannot get them back. The process still shows up in task manager but i cannot restore the window..
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Class Form1

I have a vb.net application that, when a short cut is pressed, a window pops up. I also would like to make it completely invisible, unless the short cut is pressed. In the default class that houses my code for noticing the short cut and coordinating the events of the short cut, I have placed the following code:
Me.ShowInTaskbar = False
I have isolated this code as the issue. The issue is that my application does not work when it is not shown in the taskbar. This is only the default form - for the pop up window I have a separate class. How can I create a workaround for hiding the window in the taskbar and hiding it in general?
Btw, this is my hotkey code:
Public Const MOD_ALT As Integer = &H1
Public Const WM_HOTKEY As Integer = &H312
Public Declare Function RegisterHotKey Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal id As Integer, ByVal fsModifiers As Integer, ByVal vk As Integer) As Integer

If you start an exe file by using a Process, you can set certain ProcessStartInfo parameters beforehand, such as CreateNoWindow = True (to hide the process), as in this example:
Dim myExe As New Process
Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
p.FileName = "cmd.exe" 'starts the cmd console

I was just googleing this, and i came across this
Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.Process
p.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = True
p.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe"
p.Start()
Does that mean that i could show it again? if so, is there a code that can do this?Also, if i wanted to get the window that the user is currently in, how would i be able to hide that?

I'm making a webbrowser and coding the ctrl+f function has proven to be too complicated. I therefore decided to link buttons with the ctrl+f window that already exists in IE. What i want to do now is hide the ctrl+f window that pops up. When I hide active window at the moment it hides the webbrowser and not the ctrl+f window that pops up.

newAppDomain.ExecuteAssembly(IO.Path.Combine(Offic eAddInConfig.Instance.BinPath & "Core", "file1.exe"))
Here a command prompt will be opened which need to hide.

There are tons of examples of how to access the process environment block (PEB) from C++ code but I'm wanting to do it from VB.NET and am seriously struggling.I call NtQueryInformationProcess and get a Process_Basic_Information structure back from that which has a member named PebBaseAddress and this holds a pointer to the PEB (I have verified that this member does hold a valid pointer at runtime). The problem is that when I try to read data from the address that this pointer references I just get nothing. One important thing to mention is that it works fine if I try to use it on my own process, its just when I try and read the PEB for an external process that it gives me no data. I've enabled the SeDebugPrivilege (and confirmed it is enabled for my process in Process Explorer) but this made no difference. I've also tested it on Windows XP x86 as I'm currently testing on Windows 7 x64 but XP had the exact same issue, only sometimes the XP one would just crash completely with a memory access violation and thats the other thing, I am getting fairly inconsistent results - even on the Windows 7 machine sometimes I end up with no data but other times I get memory access violation errors, and other times I get the data for my process even when I have passed in the handle of a different process..

We use a 3rd party engineering application that does not expose an automation model. We can 'automate' it after a fashion by using low level Win32 API calls. I can get the Process by iterating the GetProcesses method. Is there a way to attach to the app by using the NativeWindow class?

I am currently working in a very large solution (120+ projects). Very often, we need to find a particular form in a large desktop application, consisting of hundreds of forms. For example, we might have a requirement to edit some controls on a certain form.We don't know the form name, but we know how to navigate to the form when running the application.
In order to identify a form, we currently try to find some unique text on the form, and then search all the source files for this string. That's not very cool.Instead, I'd like to make a little tool that can identify the source file for a form, or at least the name property of the form object. We can't add code to the solution itself, so we will have to make an external exe.

I'm using createwindowex to create a button on an external window. I can use Spy++ to see all of the messages the button is sending to the parent window. The problem I'm having is catching these messages from the parent window.I've been trying a lot of different methods, and just when I think one is working, something still isn't quite right. Right now, I am using a hook dll made with c#, and it seems to be working somewhat. It seems like it is a lot more than should be needed for what I'm doing.I originally thought I could just use wndproc to catch all of the messages, but I found that it doesn't catch external windows messages(unless i'm doing something wrong).Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction to create a button on an external window, then catch the messages when it is clicked.

I have an application right now that starts a process, then opens a file associated with that process (system.diagnostics.process.start("WM.exe")), however, the way they save, there is a window within a window. It's like in photoshop cs3 when you have many windows within the big window of the application. Right now I use an api call to findwindow which is the application itself, but within that I need to find the subwindow, of which I know the apptitle, and then I need to set its windowstate to maximized. Does anyone know how this can be done? I think there's a way to hook a handle, but how does one also maximize?

I was offered this interesting scenario by a visitor of my site and have been trying a few approaches, but not seeming to get it quite right. I have a Form with a WebBrowser control (or an AxWebBrowser if that works too) and on the page loaded in the browser, is a link that uses javascript to open a new popup window.This popup window I am unable to take "ownership" of and it launches in a new instance of the user's default browser (IE for this scenario). I need to then interact with that javascript popup window which now is not part of my application. If I needed to set a value of an input box on that form, how would I accomplish that if I can't "interact" with the form?

I have an interesting issue, I'm trying to automate a data retrieval process.Currently the user goes out to a secure web site and inputs his/her username and password and then selects the ok button, they then proceed to the location where the data is located at and do a copy and paste. I have thought about using the SendKey method from VBA but everything I see says it's not reliable.I believe I have the section after the sending of the login/password completed. For the life of me I can't figure out how to automatically input the username and password and then select the "OK" button. Before anyone asks, no can't view the source code so I can't get the ID field, there is no way for me to view the source code at all I have tried multiple different options all with no luck.

We have an existing VB.net application. Upon an event, we need to open a browser window. I'm able to open the browser window like this:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://s3web01/suggestions?item=" + strItem + "&co=" + strOrder)
Upon another event, we need to refresh the browser window with different parameters for strItem and strOrder.
If I call the same code above, it opens a new tab in the browser window. Is there any way to refresh the same browser window that was previously opened?
